Lovely Getaway in the Mountains
Twin Bear II is the perfect place to stay if you are looking for a cozy place in the mountains! I enjoyed my “mental health” stay immensely. The cabin was very clean and in a great location.

PERFECT PLACE TO STAY!
Such a WONDERFUL place to relax!! QUIET neighborhood. If you dont want the craziness for your vacation, this is far enough from the commercialism of Gatlinburg and Pidgeon Forge. Sevierville has a wonderful petting zoo, Deer Farms that was very enjoyable.

Return Visitors- Wonderful time
My husband and I love our stays in this quiet little cabin that is ideal for a couple on a weekend getaway. We only wish we could have stayed longer. The host is very responsive to any needs you may have. We brought our own food - the kitchen is well equipped- and we really enjoyed the hot tub. Since returning we have already recommended to another couple!

Fantastic Weekend Getaway!
This cabin was excellent! It was just what my wife and I were looking for. It was just far enough away from everything to be private, but still within a very easy drive to anywhere we wanted to go (<10 minutes to the Island or grocery store for example). The views were great, and we absolutely loved the fireplace.

Everything was very good and just like pictures online but was disappointed that hot tub only got hot to 85 degrees that little to cold for me in the winter months for summer that be fine , and also cabin was clean but I just thought corners could be clean a little bit more thoroughly but other wise it was just great for what we need and I could stay there again!!

Pre-Thanksgiving at Twin Bear II
I enjoyed staying at Twin Bear I two summers ago and I can say that Twin Bear II is much like it. The main differences are that Twin Bear II has a back porch that is accessible from the drive way. Twin Bear II also has motion-activated security lights in the drive way that will turn on when your car enters the drive way. My stay was short, but enjoyable with plenty of time for peace, quiet and relaxation. Twin Bear I and II sit on at least an acre of land, so neighbors are not close at all. For those looking for some down time, you can't beat either one of these properties!

Short Stay Fall Getaway
We enjoyed our trip. The cabin is nestled in the woods but not too far from the attractions. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub and having supper by the fire pit. Overall the cabin was pretty clean but could use a little extra cleaning, washing out kitchen trash can (stinky), vacuuming stairs (hair hanging down), wiping wall behind sinks and baseboards.

Cozy Bear cabin in the woods
Cute cabin, ideal for two adults. We were celebrating our anniversary and had a Father’s Day cookout on the grill. Close proximity to Ripken where our son was interning. Property manager great to work with and immediately fixed our one issue (hot tub temp needed to be raised). We enjoyed the hot tub and the back porch is a lovely, quiet spot. Slept well every night. Outfitted nicely for a weeklong stay. Only caveats: watch your head on right side of bed and Wi-Fi is a bit spotty in the mountains. We will recommend and hope to return!

Wooded privacy with wildlife
We loved our stay in the mountains it was very beautiful and peaceful! We enjoyed the wildlife and had a black bear walk right by us when we were out in the yard and it was the coolest thing to see! We are very aware not to approach bears as they are wild animals but both encounters we had with bears were exciting and not scary like we thought they seemed very used to humans and not threatened. The cabin was adorable, clean and well stocked. Only about a 10 minute drive to Pigeon Forge which has TONS of roller coasters, shopping, great food, amazing go cart tracks! We also went on a hike in the GORGEOUS National Park and then went to Gaitlinburg Aquarium. Great time!

Long weekend getaway!
This cabin was absolutely PERFECT! It was tucked into the mountains a very short distance from the main parkway at Pigeon Forge and a very short drive to Gatlinburg! We quickly learned the route without even needing GPS. There were stores & gas stations close by. The cabin was very very nice! In fact one of our favorites thus far! The cabin was easily accessible with the info that was emailed to me beforehand. The firepit was lovely. It was SO nice to have the firewood readily available. My son LOVED all the games that were provided there. The washer and dryer was a super nice thing to have to get a head start on the laundry pile from our getaway. Towels & everything were provided and there were plenty. There were directions for everything posted throughout the cabin and it was very handy! The king bed upstairs in the loft was SO COMFORTABLE, along with the pillows. The tv up there was nice too, we love Roku. And the best feature of all for us was the fan!!!! We slept like babies! The hot tub was nice, but it was hard to relax bc everything we heard we thought it was a bear LOL! Overall this was a fabulous experience, the cabin was 5/5 and we would totally recommend this to our family and friends! Thank you for sharing your little piece of Heaven with us!

My husband and I (along with our two kiddos) spent three nights at this cabin. It was extremely peaceful and warm. It had everything we needed to feel at home. The loft bed was extemely comfortable and the sofa bed was as comfortable as one typically is. Wifi worked just fine and the place was very clean. There was a minor issue with the hot tub and Dan arrived SUPER quick to fix it. To get there, the road had a few sharp curves but no biggie at all. We would 100% stay there again.

Fun small cabin for a couple. Easy drive to everything around. Driving up and down at night can be a little challenging as pulling up to the driveway is hard to see.

Not much of a view with this cabin location but still was wonderful. Would recommend to any couple and enjoyed the Christmas lights and Christmas tree set up.

Beautiful cabin
This cabin was perfect for my husband and I. We wanted few relaxing days and we got them. The pictures on vebo matched the cabin. The location was perfect and my GPS took us right to it. We loved the fire pit and the fireplace. The bed was really comfortable. The only thing we was little disappointed in was the hot tub. I understand changing the water after each use but when we got it in it was really slimmy and the water had a film on it. We have a hot tub and if you don't wipe it down when you empty it, it's pointless to change the water. We would definitely stay here again. We absolutely loved it!!
